5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Opener, January 13, 2009

By	educ8er (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews

Krannich and Krannich cut to the chase in this book. From job hoppers to terminated employment to ex-offenders this book is valuable to a broader group than the title might infer.

Even with mild problem areas, everyone can learn to shake the trembles of the past and improve your chances to "get the job!"

Everyone should remember this book is very important to a wide group of our society, but also realize many that fit into this category have literacy problems. The trick is to turn this information into useful information for those that need it most. Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great title and great information,, May 2, 2004

By	jason mcclure (Little Rock, Arkansas USA) - See all my reviews

This is book is great. As the author of, "How to find your dream job and make it a reality: solutions for a meaningful and rewarding career." I feel I am an expert on the subject. Many books tell you how to get a job interview, and few give you scripted answers assuming you have been nothing, but successful.

For most people, this just is not the case. There are a number of reasons of why people do not have great backgrounds. I for one do not believe this is a reflection of potential, creativity, and attitude all of which are far more important than experience. If you need to prep for the interview read this book, if you need to get an interview read, "How to find your dream job and make it a reality: solutions for a meaningful and rewarding career" first. When investing in both of these resources you cannot go wrong.
